Fading dreams, a stolen youth Come at far too high a cost Amid a sea of self doubt Her innocence was lost Her world has lost its color And food has lost all taste Her passions seem but pointless And life feels like a waste Now her mind feels paralyzed Stuck in a moment in time Hoping, longing for relief For justice for this crime But justice may never come And vengeance isn't sweet If the demons in her mind Cannot admit defeat Silently she drudges on A shell of who she was He still haunts her memories And everything she does
